Andy Watson

NORTH WEST COMEDIAN OF THE YEAR 2005

This quick-fire comic immediately grabs audiences with his hard-hitting one-liners and leaves them in hysterics with his surreal observations and physical comedy skills. In October 2005 he won the City Life North West Comedian of the Year Award (past winners of the prestigious award have included Peter Kay, Caroline Aherne, Dave Spikey and Jason Manford). He also won Budweiser Legend of Laughter 2006, was a Semi-Finalist in the Amused Moose Laugh Off 2006 and a Finalist in the Carlsberg Comedy Crown 2007 competition.

In October 2006 Andy performed his debut one-man show, 'Rising Star', as part of the Manchester Comedy Festival. It featured forty-five minutes of his strongest material and tickets sold out. In August 2007 he performed his brand new, hour-long show, 'Watson's World' for three weeks at Edinburgh Festival. Andy has been performing stand-up for four years and performs at comedy clubs across the UK.
